USD exchange rate today in the world

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the US dollar's performance against a basket of six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF), rose 0.41% to 101.60.

The US dollar hit a three-week high against the euro after the ADP employment report showed US private payrolls rose more than expected in September, just ahead of a key jobs data release on October 4.

Investors are keeping an eye on geopolitical tensions after Iran attacked Israel, raising concerns about the possibility of a wider conflict in the oil-producing Middle East.

The latest report from ADP showed private sector payrolls increased by 143,000 in September, following a gain of 103,000 in August. Economists had expected 120,000 jobs to be added.

The September nonfarm payrolls report is expected to show an increase of 140,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.2%.

Positive comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell boosted the value of the US dollar and reduced expectations of a Fed rate cut.

According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, the probability that the Fed will cut interest rates by 50 basis points at its next meeting has dropped from 57% to 35%.

Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin stressed that the recent rate cut does not signal the end of the fight against inflation.

A new report from the Institute for Supply Management provides more insight into the current state of the US economy.

The euro edged down 0.27% to $1.1037, its lowest level of the day.

The currency's weakness is believed to be due to expectations that the European Central Bank (ECB) will cut interest rates due to falling inflation.

ECB member Isabel Schnabel said that inflation in the euro zone was likely to fall towards the ECB's 2% target, but also warned of the challenge of controlling prices.

The Japanese yen also fell after Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba ruled out further interest rate hikes.

The US dollar rose 1.94% to 146.34 yen, supported by safe-haven demand amid tensions in the Middle East.
